Friday TV: Undercover Employee

Summer is a time for reruns and reality shows, of course. But there is also time for the kind of documentary series that don’t always make it to prime time network TV. The new “Whistleblower” (CBS, 8 p.m.) looks at the darker side of companies (which are usually seen in a favorable light in the time slot, on “Undercover Boss”).

The summer’s one feel good story gets a quick turnaround in the special “Operation Thai Cave Rescue” (Discovery, 10 p.m.).

“Dateline” (NBC, 10 p.m.) looks back at Jonestown.

One reason Netflix broke HBO’s 17-year record for total Emmy nominations yesterday was sheer volume of product. More comes tonight with the post-apocalyptic road trip movie “How It Ends” (Netflix, streaming) with Theo James trying to impress his finance’s dad Forest Whittaker amid the struggle.

In addition to his talk show, here’s a new stand up special from the Aussie comic, “Jim Jeffries: This is Me Now” (Netflix, streaming). Plus, there is the sweet tooth cooking competition “Sugar Rush” (Netflix, streaming) and for kids, “The Epic Tales of Captain Underpants” (Netflix, streaming).

The J.K. Rowling adaptation “C.B. Strike” (Cinemax, 10 p.m.) comes to the end with the pursuit of a murderer.

Among the “Masters of Illusion” (CW, 8 p.m.) are magicians named Titou, Spidey, Jibrizy and Murray SawChuck.

On “Quantico” (ABC, 8 p.m.), personal tragedies hit Owen and McQuigg.

Befitting the current international meeting, contestants prepare American pie on “The Great British Baking Show” (PBS, 9 p.m.).

The team on “Cooper’s Treasure” (Discovery, 9 p.m.) find a shipwreck.

If you missed it Sunday here’s a recap of Travis Pastrana’s attempt to recreate three Evel Knievel stunts in “Evel Live: Supercharged” (History, 9 p.m.).
